CVE-2013-4480

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-4480 describes a critical vulnerability in Red Hat Satellite 5.6 and earlier, as well as several SUSE products, where the web interface for initial user creation remains active, allowing remote attackers to create unauthorized administrator accounts. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (High) due to its low attack complexity and lack of authentication required, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
